Love In The Darkness's

Episode 4

Night has not changed to morning let alone to day. Silence and calm are the situation now.

In a shabby hut there was a girl who was sleeping on a bed made of bamboo.

His clothes were shabby just like his shabby hut. Well that's Deana or Ana!

Ana lies facing the right, with her eyes closed and regular breathing.

It is in his subconscious. To the extent that he did not realize the tight embrace of the hand of someone who was beside him.

Pale, cold hands hugged Ana's body so tightly, making Ana fall asleep.

Tok tok tok tok

The sound of knocking on the door made Ana instantly open her eyes.

Who are these nights coming to visit?

tok tok tok tok

The sound of the knocking gets louder. Ana tries to get up but there is a hand that hugs her tightly.

Huh, whose hand is this?

Ana tries to let go of that hand but can't.

Tok tok tok tok

Hah, come on, what's going on?

tok tok tok tok

"Yes!!! Are you inside?" Shouted a man, it seemed like this was a middle-aged man as it was visible from his tone.

Ana tried to let go of the hand with all her might. Strange though the hug felt tight but Ana was so comfortable.

After trying to open the hug, Ana immediately sat down and turned to where the hand that had been holding her.

Ana immediately stood up and closed her mouth in surprise

That woman!

The woman who always followed him hugged him tightly.

The woman smiled broadly looking towards Ana.

Tok tok tok tok

Ana began to remember the person outside. He ignored the woman and went to the door.

It's midnight who wants to visit?

He opened the door and found a middle-aged man standing at the door.

"What's up, sir?"Ask Ana directly.

"There was a woman in the forest and it looks like she was exposed to poison and is now lying weak!"Said the man.

"What does this have to do with me? The day you reported it to the village apparatus not to me!"

"But you can treat Ana's people! So please. I'm just a poor man who doesn't have the money to pay you, but I have a feeling when I see a weak girl lying helpless."

Ana breathed heavily.

"Then why didn't you bring her here?"

"How is it? I'm just an old man that even a pile of wood I can't lift"

"Well wait a minute!"

Ana goes to the kitchen and carries a knife, who knows this is a ruse. He did expect death just not for death due to sexual abuse.

After that, he approached the man. This is a little weird! Why doesn't the woman who follows him show up. Usually the woman always shows herself especially when she is going to go out of the house.

But it doesn't matter, it's really good.

He remembered the incident earlier, was he always hugged like that every night? And why does that hug feel comfortable? Who exactly is that woman.?

Ana and the man went to the forest that the man meant, Ana was not afraid of the dark night in the forest because she was used to it.

What else is that forest is Viona forest he very often comes here to find food every day.

"He's there!" The man's voice pointed towards a girl who was lying weakly.

Ana is getting closer. He saw the girl whose face was pale

Ana held the girl's hand.

It's cold!

That guy is right! This girl seemed to have been exposed to the visible poison from her signs.

"Old man! Please help me lift it!" Ana.

"Old man!! Old man!!" Call Ana and it turns out the man is no more.

Ana felt something, cold!!!!

He tried to lift the girl up, fortunately the girl's body was thin. It must be the effect of the poison.

*****

"Hmmm it seems like this poison has been in his body for too long!'

"The poor girl!"

"But I can't treat it now because it's late and I'm sleepy. Hmmm maybe with a little bidder can make his body survive!"

Ana starts concocting a temporary antidote with the ingredients in her home.

Then he put the medicine in the girl's mouth.

"I'd better sleep, and his life isn't my responsibility!" Said Ana and directly laid her body.

Like there's less, but what?

Ana tries to close her eyes to fall asleep but still can't.

Ana felt her bed hard and made her body sick, not the same as the nights ago.

Ana tries to close her eyes again, An outstretched hand hugs Ana's body and makes Ana become calm and comfortable, it feels like she is sleeping on a soft, comfortable cotton pad.

Even the night continues to make people sleep quietly in their subconscious.

Next day

The Diamond kingdom

Lucy couldn't sleep last night thinking about her beloved daughter who disappeared somewhere.

His sickly daughter, how can his daughter sleep, has her daughter eaten? Is his daughter not afraid of the dark?.

"Lucy!!" Call Zania.

"Sister!" Lucy hugged Zania.

"Cia must be fine, we just need to pray and try." Zania's words calmed Lucy.

"Hopefully the sister of the hyx" said Lucy sobbing holding her chest.

"Nathan and the others can definitely find him. Trust Lucy! You must be strong!"

"Hiks hyks, what if they don't find him?"

"Never say that Lucy! Cia will definitely be found in good health"

"Hopefully!"

****

Nathan and the others were already getting ready to go back to look for Cia.

"Cia, I hope you're okay, son. Please hold on!" Inner Vian was crying.

"Cia hope you're okay. I promise you'll obey your will as long as you're okay!"

They started rushing off towards the Viona forest.

Arriving there the soldiers were divided to search all over the forest.

Nathan went with his group in the direction he had set. Alex and Vian went in the other direction.

They searched for a long time but there was no sign of Cia.

They've been looking here and there and the results are nil.

All have regrouped, starting from Nathan Vian, and Alex and other soldiers.

"How's dad?" Ask Alex.

"We didn't find a single trace"

Via was just speechless, not feeling his tears fall. Only daughter! He can't even protect his beloved daughter, and now what does he have to say to Lucy?

If a miracle had happened.

"We'd better go home! We are free to search but the results are nil! Vian I'm so sorry!" Nathan said sadly.

Vian only smiled wryly wiping away his tears.

"Uncle I'm sorry" Alex said regretfully.

"What's wrong Alex, it's not your fault!"

Kresek

When they wanted to move, suddenly the sound of a bush made them stop their steps and look towards the bush

Alex got closer to the bush and saw who was there.

Alex saw a girl picking some flowers.

Alex and the others came closer to the girl.

"Who are you?"
